AN AWKWARD MISTAKE—A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITT.—Mary Ann Lazell, a respectable looking female, was charged before iqr Tyrwhitt with being concerned with others in stealing a watch and chain, of the value of £9, the property of Patrick Burke, a tailor, living at No, 24, Castle-street, Leicester-square. The prosecutor said that on Monday night he was going through Leicester-square when he was accosted by two women, who asked him to treat them. He did so, not being quite sober at the time, and after leaving the public house, and when near Orange-street, he received a blow from behind which knocked him down, and on getting up again he found that his watch and chain, of the value of £9, were gone, and the two women as well. Seeing the pri soner last night ; and believing she was one of the women who robbed him, he took hold of her and told her so, and she sail she would go with him to the Vine-street station, but that ebe had not robbed him. He, however, had 'now a doubt on his mind,•and would not swear she was one of the wcmen, but lest night he believed she was. Mr Tyrwhitt—Were you sober last night ? Prosecutor said he was, but not on Monday night. He went home directly after he was robbed and told his wife all about it. In reply to the accused, the prosecutor said it was near twelve o'clock when he was robbed. The accused said she was in bed on Monday night by ten o'clock, and could clll a witness to prove it. She had lived in service at No. 5, Waterloo-place, Pull• mall, and persons there could state that she was a respectable person. Williams, 129 C, said the accused, on being given into custody, said she was in bed at the time of the robbery. The accused again asserted her innocence, and said she had never seen the prosecutor before he gave her into custody. A respectable female said the accused slept with her on Monday night, and, she was positive, was not out of the house after ten o'clock. Mr Tyrwhitt said he considered it proper for the sake of the accused that the case should be heard out. A mistake had been committed, and a most important one, and the accused, who would be discharged, would leave the court without a stain on her character. The accused was then discharged, RACING FIXTU Au, Egham Dover 0 xford .. 18 Yarmouth York August 2,`i Weymouth 1 Baden-Baden .... 1 Warwick September.... 6 Bridgwater S Leicester S Doncaster rim SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1864. THAMES. ONz O'CLOCK CLOSING.—James Falcher, a tall and powerful man, was brought before Mr Pagot charged with violently assaulting Mr Speck, the landlord of the Three Mariners public-house, Itopemaker's-fields, Limehouse. It appeared that shortly before 1 o'clock this morning the prisoner called at the Three Mariners, and was supplied, but reluctantly, with a half pint of porter, to which another customer added a glass of ale. Mr Speck requested the prisoner to drink his beverage and depart at once, as the law required him to close his house at one o'clock, and he wished to obey the law. The prisoner said he did not care for the law, and swore and raved loudly. Ile called Mr Speck by the most vile names, and when the land lord attempted to put him out of the house he made a furious attack upon him, tore his shirt off his back, struck him on the eye, and knocked him duwn. Speck was seri• ously injured, and his trousers were split. Mr. Speck then got rid of the fellow, and closed his house. The landlord and his wife were in their bedroom, about to go to bed, when the prisoner returned, and, to use Mr. Speck's lan guage, "assaulted the house." Mrs. Speck looked out of the window and expostulated with the prisoner, who used the most filthy language towards her. A constable named Hackstep, No. 293 K, arrived and took the prisoner into custody, Mr. Speck added that he wished to observe the law and close precisely at one o'clock, but unless protected by the law he could not do so. Mr Paget—You are quite right; I am glad there is such prompt obedience to the law. The evidence of Mr Speck was fully confirmed by Mrs Susannah Bell, a neighbour. The prisoner—l have nothing to say. Mr Paget said there had not been a single case of viola- Hon of the new law in the district since the passing of the Act of Parliament closing the public houses and refreshment rooms from Ito 4 o'clock. The assault was a most savage one, and he sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprison ment and hard labour in the House of Correction. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL STATEMENT 'UPON °ATM—Charlotte Moody was placed at the bar charged with feloniously assaulting and wounding Margaret Hartwell by striking her on the head with a jug. Complainant said that she was in the neighbourhood of Peter-street, Westminster, last night, when she saw the prisoner and her brother-in-law quarrelling, and separated them. In an hour or more after this the prisoner came and struck her on the head with a jug, and she became sense less from the effects of the wound. Mr Arnold—What made her do this ? Prosecutrix—l am sure I can't tell at all. Mr. Arnold—Had you not said or done something to provoke her ? Prosecutrix—Nothing ; I never spoke to her, good or bad. Mr Arn , Ad—Then there was no reason whatever for her doing it? Prosecutriz—Not the least. Mr Arnold—Was she sober ? Prosecutrix—l can't tell. Police constable Feshlay, 112 B, said that at half past 10 last night he saw a crowd of people in St. Peter-street, and found the prosecutris attacking the prisoner. The prisoner wanted her to go away, but the prosecutor challenged her to fight. Prisoner refused, and the prosecutrix then went into a public house and remained a few minutes. When she came out she rushed upon the prisoner, seized her by the hair of the head, and began striking her. Witness did not see prosecutrix receive the blow with the jug, as they were surrounded before witness got up. Witness had pro secutor's wound dressed at the hospital. Mr Arnold said that prosecutrixhad deceived him by the grossest falsehoods, and he should merely require the' pri soner to enter into a £5 recogninee to keep the peace. MARKET 2--This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English wheat—both old and new—were very moderate, The trade, however, was heavy at the late decline in prices. New red wheat was quoted at 415 to 418 ; new white, 44s to 475; and new Talavcra, 46s to 52s per cwt.

Although M. von Quaade is still without special instructions, he has received notice that he and Colonel Kauffmann are to continuo to represent the Danish Government during the negotiations for peace. In general the prolonged delay in thedespatch o f ti„,, expected instructions is attributed to the intrigues of the Western Powers, however wrongly, Before the preliminaries of peace were signed the French Government repeatedly advised Austria to and within the last week r l a citl o € n n th Y as returned to the charge. . ‘t treat hie. ap ti lju o leD d md o ea w r G a k s so over - huretened with work that he applied to his Government fo7 assistance, and it is to of the war, be supposed that his request hes li‘een complied with, as M. von Bile, who was S ecretary to the Danish Legation at the ontbreakfqturned to this city on Tuesday last. In the Kreutz Zeitung it is said that M. von Bisruark managed to "con vert" the Austrian Minister of State, but the intel ligence must be taken cunt grano salis. Persons who enjoy the confidence of M. 1•012 Schmerling say that he greatly admires some p o i n t s in M. von Bits mark's character, and I can readily conceive that such is the ease. The Austrian Minister has great strength of will and tenacity of purpose, and it is, therefore, not unlikely that he greatly appreciates. _ - - those qualities in the Prussian atateaaan. Daring the last fortnight M. von Schmerling, wilp is about to leave for Ischl, has frequentl y con f erre d with Count Rechberg, and I believe t h at h e f u lly o p proves the policy of his colleagues in regard to Prussia. It is, however, evident that Count 'tech. berg is beginning to feel that he may get into serious difficulties if he should continue to set the secondary German States at naught. For some time past the relations between this Government and the repre sentatives of Saxony, Hanover, Bavaria, and Wurs Lemberg have been very cool, and every now and then I have occasion to remark that the French to make opposition to the so.call e d "l ea di ng " Government is suspected of instigati ng those States German Powers. The Governmental organs of the Vienna press express disapproval of the occupation of Lauenburg by Hanoverian troops, yet it appears that the latter have an indisputable right to remain in that Duchy until peace is definitively concluded with Denmark. On the Ist of October, 1863, the German Diet ordered a corps of execution, which was to be composed of Hanoverians and Saxons, to occupy Holstein and Lauenburg, and the decree of the Bond has now been fulfilled to the very letter. In official circles it is maintained that Federal troops have no right to remain in either of the Elba Duchies, "as they have been ceded by Den mark to Austria and Praszia," but the Austrian Government will do well to recollect that prelini naries of peace are not equivalent to a treaty. The march of Federal troops into Lauenburg so greatly roused the ire of the Prussians that they at onced asked for an explanation of the conduct of the Hanoverian Government. At first the Hanoverian Minister for Foreign Affairs was somewhat irre solute, but ultimately took courage, and replied that the Federal troops had entered Lauenburg in obedience to an order issued by the Federal com missaries for Holstein and Lauenburg. It need hardly be said that the inexcusable conduct of the Prussians in respect to Rendsbarg led to the occu pation of Leuenburg. Up to the 9th instant, there was not a single Federal soldier in the above mentioned Duchy, but now a whole bottalioa is stationed in the towns of Ba!nburg and Molln. The Berlin Government stilt tries to keep from the knowledge of the world its intentions in regard to the Duchies, but the aim of M. von Bismarck is perfectly well known to the Gez:nacs. He wishes to obtain Lauenburg as an indemnitc:etion for the expenses incurred during the war, and to connect Schleswig-Holstein with Prussia by means of ',what is here called "a military an d di p l oma tic alliance.' If Prince Frederic of Aug us t en b urg i s willing to agree to the foregoing terms his claim to the throne of Schleswig-Holstein will be supported by Prussia but if he should be refractory, M. von Bismark will agitate in favour of Dake Peter of Oldenburg. The nobles and clergy in Holstein and Schleswig have expressed a wish that those Duchies may enter into a closer connexion with Prussia; and it may rea sonably be supposed that this is not to the taste of the Austrian Government, as Baron Charles von Scheel-Piessen, who was long President of the Estates of Holstein, has be©n requested to come at once to this city. Baron von Plessen, a man of great talent, belongs to the Feudal party, and be is said to be opposed to the D u k e of Augustenburg, because his Highness has promised to uphold the Holstein Constitution of 1849 .

The half• yearly general meeting of the shareholders in this company was hold this afternoon at the London Tavern. The report, which has appeared in the Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said it was so full, and entered so completely into the policy of the com pany and its results, that be need not say anything more about it. He had received letters urging that a larger divi dend should be declared, but ho thought that which was now declared, under all circumstances, was a fair one. Mr. FABSON, ex-deputy chairman, in seconding the motion, said that from the amount to be carried over another half per cent, might be declared, but the sum to be carried over would be exceedingly small. The directors in determining the amount of dividend to be declared, had been guided to a great extent by the fact that the Finsbury extension would participate in the earnings of the line this half year, while the Finsbury extension itself would not be productive of any benefit. The object of the directors was to give to the shareholders euchadividerd which theywould be able to maintain next half year when the Finebury capital would be brought in. He believed that in April next their line would be in working order up to Aldersgate-street, and that by this time next year would be open to Finsbury it self. (Hear, hear.) He could assure the proprietors that the dividend to be declared had been fairly earned during the half-year, and no person who had a wish to invest his money in the lino need have any fear that the dividend had been improperly made up. Considering the difficulties they had had to encounter he thought a dividend at the rate of 51 per cent. which it was proposed to declare was a very fair one. The directors had no intention of unduly burdening their shareholders with extensions and unconsidered speculations. The CuArnaller said he had forgotten to mention the , s n; e ie.ct of working men's trains, During the last week they had carried 8,768 working men to their business and homes, and that al: a profit to the company. This was a great ad vantage to the working men, who, at the time of the morn ing at which theo trains ran, could not avail themselves of omnibuses, and woute! obliged to walk, After some convereatioz the report was unanimously adopted, and a dividend was declared at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum on the preference stock, and at the rate of 51 per cent. on the ordinary stock, carrying forward to the credit of next half-year a balance cf £2,453 6s 10d. The meeting was then made special, and resolutions were passed authorising the raising of capitai by the crea tion of new shares. ',l'he meeting then separated. Dr. Manning on the Catastrophe at Santiago. Monday being the "Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary," an altar which has recently been erected in the Catholic church of St. Charles Borromeo, in Upper Ogle-street, Fitzroy-square, was, with great pomp and solemnity, dedicated to "Our Lady Immaculate," as a reparation for the many blasphemies offered to Jesus and Mary in consequence of the terrible catastrophe which occurred at Santiago towards the close of last year. The ceremony was witnessed by a very numerous and attentive congregation. At the high mass whiehfailowed a sermon was preached by the Right Rev. Monsignors Manning, D.D., who, in referring to the special object for which they had assembled, said the terrible accident at Santiago, which had caused such wide-spread misery and affliction, was one of those occurrences that had been per mitted by the Divine will for some inscrutable purpose. The facts were fresh in the memory of all, and it would therefore be unnecessary for him to repeat them. The hu man heart was harrowed by the mere thought of the suffer ings, both bodily and mental, which in a single moment came like a flood upon a whole congregation who were as ' eembled in the sanctuary of God. But the world, ever ready to seize an opportunity of inveighing against the Church, took occasion, more especially in this country, to your out a tide of blasphemy more vehement than the flood of sorrow which had fallen upon Santiago. aad to utter sen timents of which a cultivated and above all a Christian nation ought to be p;ofoundly ashamed. The best way for them, as Catholics, to reply to such charges was by main taining perfect silence, for the persona who could speak in such a way were incapable of argument and reason. It was vain to argue or remonstrate with those who spoke blasphemy—they could only pray for them. Nothing could offend a man more deeply than an insult directed against his mother, and it was reasonable to believe that when our Divine Lord was spit upon during his lifetime here upon earth he suffered the indignity with a greater calm than he had borne the insults lately poured out upon the memory of his mother. It was their duty, then, to an swer those insults by acts of reparation, and of love, honour, and gratitude to the blessed Virgin. They had chosen the Festival of the Assumption fur the inauguration of the altar, because it was on another feast cf the Holy Virgin—that of the Immaculate Conception—that the catastrophe took place which had given rise to the outpouring of so much impiety, He would take leave of this distasteful subject by urging upon his hearers the duty of silence, reparation, and prayer for those who had been guilty of that impiety. They would pray that the Divine illumination might be given to those who know not what they did, and that their eyes might be opened, so that they might perceive that in blaspheming the immaculate mother of God - they were crucifying again her Divine Son. HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The present retucn shows a manifest improvement in the health of London in last week, as compared with the two previous weeks. The deaths, which were 1,607 and 1,595 respectively in the two weeks ending the 6th of August, declined to 1,433 in that which ended last Saturday. The deaths of young persons (under 20 years of age) fell from about 980 to 862. The average number• of deaths in the 32d week of ten previous years, 1854-63, is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,368, and the number ac tually returned for last week exhibits an excess of 65 over the number estimated for the second week of August. In respect of fatal diseases a comparison of results in the last two weeks shows a decrease in the deaths by measles from 102 to 72, in those by scarlatina from 58 to 46, in those by diarrhcea from 286 to 228. Besides the 228 from diarrhoea last week, there were 22 from cholera, 5 of which occurred to adults. Of the deaths from diarrhcee, all except 24 were among infants. Both this complaint end measles were most prevalent in the east districts; 4 deaths from measles and 18 from diarrhoea were recorded in the Shoreditch district, 5 from measles and 9 from diarrl eel in Bethnal-green, 7 from measles and 10 from diarrhoea in Whitechapel, 6 from measles and `2 from diarrhoea in St. George-in-the-East, 4 from measles and 9 from diarrhce 1 in Stepney, 6 from measles and 6 from diarrL eel in Mile end Old Town, 10 from measles and 13 from diarrhase in Poplar.

LIVERPOOL ASSIZES, AUGUST 16. CIVIL SIDE. (Before Mr Baron Pigott.) RAE V. CUNARD AND ANOTHER. In this case the plaintiff was Mr John Rae, and the de fendants Mr Joseph Cunard and Mr James Archibald Kerr Wilson, and the action was brought to recover compensation from the auctioneers engeged in the sale by suction of the Great Eastern for not having handed her over ro the plain tiff, who claimed to have wade the highest bid, and to have complied with all the conditions of the sale. Mr James, QC., stated the case for the plaintiff, from which it appeared that on Feb. 17 lest the Great Eastern was put up to auction by Mr Ctinard, who performed the office of auctioneer, Mr Wilson assisting him, and it being a sale without reserve as announced, the defendant stated that he was ready to receive any bid that might be made. He waited some time, and at last a bid was made o!•20,000. A bid then came from tlaa further end of the room of L 25 OM. "Name" was ea:led oct, and the gentleman's name was announced as Mr John Rae, who had been for upwards of 40 years a shipowner in Liverpool, and was extremely well known. There was a pause, and some conversation seemed to take piece between Mr Cunard, Mr Wilson, and Mr-Gill an attorney. After another pause Mr Wilson pr ocee d ed to 'Vt. Rae and said "Are you prepared to pay the deposit ?" Mr Rae replied "Why, one bag not always money to this large extent in one's pocket. Knock tire vessel down to me and I will provide the money forthwith." Mr Wilson went away, and there was some further parley between the gen tlemen there, when Mr Cunard put up the vessel at the former bid of £20,000. Then there was a bid of 20,000 guineas, and et last £25,000 was bid again, and after dwel ling for some time it was demanded who was the purchaser, when a Mr Yates was announced to be the bidder, and to him the vessel was knocked down on behalf of the New Great Eastern Steam Ship Company (Limited), Mr Rae there upon stepped up and said, " I am the bidder of £25,000, and I demand to have the ship." Bat Mr Cunard replied, " I have knocked it down to Mr Yates, or to the new com pany ; it is not yours.' These were the main facts of the case for the plaintiff; and evidence having been heard in their support, Mr Brett, for the defence, deuied that there was a bona fide bid for the ship by the plaintifl, and that ha was in a condition to have paid either the deposit or purchase ir oney. Ho made a bid which he knew could not be accepted, and after it was found that the vessol had gone at a low price, other people sought in his name to get possession of the ship. His Lordship, in summing up, put the questions—Did the plaintiff bid as an intending purchaser ; did he intend to stand by his bid ; did he give it in good faith ; was the authority to sell revoked by Mr Gill, solicitor to the trustees, before the purchase was declared; was the plaintiff ready to pay the deposit either within the room or in a reasonable time at the Bank, supposing he had satisfied the auctioneers in the room of his intention and ability to do so. Thu. there was the question of damages, and they should reply to these questions. • The jury retired to consider their verdict. and after six hours' consultation returned a verdict for the plaintiff— damages 40s. The Judge ruled that, upon the jury's reading of the con ditions, the sale money should have been paid in the room. He therefore entered the verdict for the defendants, with leave to the plaintiff to move for a new trial. The Wife Murder at Sheffield. LEEDS 10 WN HAIL. (Before Mr Justice Keating.) Yesterday Joseph Myers, table-knife grinder, was placed at the bar charged with the murder of his wife, Nancy Myers. He was evidently very weak, breathed heavily, and suffered from a slight cough. In a weak voice he pleaded not guilty to the indictment, Mr Blackburn stated the case. The prisoner had been married for some years to Nancy Myers, and they lived together at Sheffield. He was about 43 years of age, and at the time of her death the deceased was about 44. They had several children, but at the period in question only two of them resided with them. On the 10th cf June, about 9 o'clock, the deceased went down stairs, dressed, with the exception of one boot, Shorly afterwards her husband went down with the boot in his hand, and threw it at her feet. The deceased made use of an expression to the effect that if he did not like it he might put the boot down his throat,and this appeared to be the only angry expression made use of by her. Nothing further was then said, and the prisoner went out. Presently afterwards Mrs. Myers went out, but ultimately returned to her own house, and was seen by a neighbour stooping down by the staircase leading from the house part up to the chamber. The next thing was that tbe prisoner was seen to ge into the house arid to stab his wife suddenly and rapidly two or three times. The poor woman was on the ground, but she jumped up, and a woman named Hoole, attracted by the cries and the scuffie,, observed that the deceased was bleeding from the throat and face, and that the prisoner was cutting his own throat with a table knife. The deceased was taken by Mrs bole to the house of Mrs Marshall, but died in a few minutes. After the examination of a number of witnesses, Mr Middleton addressed the jury for the prisoner. His Lordship summed up the evidence, and the jury cone suited together for about three minutes, and then found the prisoner guilty of murder. His Lordship passed sentence in a most impressive man ner, and the prisoner was removed, apparently little affected by his awful position, THE HUDDERSFIELD MURDER.

Sanity, STATE OF TRADE, 311excHEsTEat, Aug. 16.—There has been a little more activity in the market for shipping yarns to-day, and we have bad a general business doing for all markets except those of India. In some few cases an advance of id. per lb. has been paid on Friday's prices. This branch of the mar ket was strong at the close, with a tendency to advance. In home-trade yarns we have also had a veryttrong market. Prices are pretty much the same as they were before the late depression. Fine numbers still maintain their position, the only signs of weakness being confined to yarns made from the commoner qualities pt Surat cotton, Only a moderate amount of business is repotted, and in the absence of any activity in the cloth market manufacturers are not disposed to anticipate their wants. There is a more cheerful feeling in the cloth maeKet. There has been a pretty general inquiry after goods, tat buyers seem to have turned their attention a good deal more than they have for some weeks past to the actual testing of prices, and though few offers have been made and but business has resulted manu facturers hold very firm:y to their quot- - *911?. The only cases in wlelele Lay weakness h' - a manifested has been where stocks had lea, ro accumulate inconveniently. In such instances dee:a have not been transactions at lower prices, so far as we can hear, but there can be little doubt, if purchasers were actually to present themselves, offers at rather lower rates would be accepted. Shirtiogs and printers of good quality still command rela tively the best prices; while longeloths, T-cloths, and do mestics, not meeting with a demand at all proportioned to the present much-increasing supply, are rather weaker. LEEDS, 16th.—There has been a moderate attendance of buyers and sellers in the cloth-halls this morning, and the tone of the market, though rather quiet, was satisfactory. Winter goods, with autumn fabrics, have been purchased to a fair extent by the home houses, but the demand for exportation is rather slack. In good plain blacks and unions there is a fair business doing. The manufacturers are well ..00..y.a throughout the district. Woo! :s firmly held at Taut week's quotations. NOTTINGHAM, 16th.—The attendance at this Exchange hall today was about as usual, but there was a very dull demand for lace yarns at prices similar to those of last week. The inquiry for hosiery yarns was also inactive, at little or no alteration in prices. silks are realising very high price e. In brown nets there was very little doing, owing to the ex treme dearness of the raw material. ROCHDALE, 15th.—In all respects the flannel trade keeps brisk and prices rise. The attendance of buyers was not large, to-day, but sufficient for the supply, which keeps small, owing to the continuance of orders direct to the manufacturers. Both plain and fancy goods sell well, and there is an increase in the demand for the thicker kinds. In Yorkshire good kerseys, plaids, linseys, and scourers are all in fair request at fully late prices. TEE VICTORIA CROSS. (From the London Gazette of last Evening,) WAR OFFICE, Aug. 16, The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her intention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on the under-mentioned officer, whose claim to the same has been submitted for her Majesty's approval, for his gallant conduct in New Zealand, as recorded again .t his name, : Lieut. Colonel John CarstairslTNeit, 107th Regiment — For the valour and presence of mind which he displayed in New Zealand, on tire 20th March, 1864, w hich is taus descritect by Private Vesper, of the Coios.ial Defence Force : Private Vosper states that he %VS sent on that day with erivate Gibson, of the same Force, as art escort to Alajor (now Lieutenant Colonel) M`Neill, Aide-de -Camp to be Lieutenant -Gen. Sir Duncan Cameron. Lieutenant -Colonel INDNeill was proceeding to Te Awamutu on duty at the time. On returning from that place , and about a mile on this side of Ohanpu, this officer having seen a. body of the enemy in front, sent Private Gibson back to bring up infantry from Ohanpn, and ho and Private Vosper proceeded leisurely to the top of a rise to watch the enemy.
